English:Djeli Moussa Diawara was born to a family of griots in Kankan (Guinea - West Africa) in 1962. His father is a balafon player, his mother is a backing singer while his half-brother is Mory Kanté. As a singer and a musician, Djeli Moussa has developed a very intimate bond with his 32-stringed kora. He has not wandered too far from traditional rhythms, which never prevented him from using his Manding instrument for unexpected styles: Salsa, Flamenco, Blues and now Jazz.
